This summer, Marc Antona introduces a brand new label: Dissonant.

Marc turns his efforts to a new platform for solo productions and collaborations. Having honed his talents on records for Mobilee, Highgrade, Micro-Fibres (his former label) and more, Marc uses this first release as an occasion to show what he's got: tight, percussive, spirit-full music that dives deep, without ever losing techno's innovative lines and motorik intensity."Rootz" sets the tone with an agile, high-stepping groove full of bells and smooth but very effective drums; the sparkling high end contrasts with an almost overwhelming sub-bass throb. Marc shows his dexterity on the board as he subtly mixes in layer after percussive layer. Teasing in bright chords and a rushing breakbeat, he connects the musical traditions of Berlin, Paris and Chicago into a thrilling, urgent example of 21st century house music. "Enan Poen" is dark and seductive, and it plays a kind of acoustic sleight-of-hand, using just a handful of sounds to conjure expansive atmospheres. Carefully combining warm drums and transformed percussion, it's a dense, trippy, pulsating sound pushed forward by muted stabs and a bassline that seems almost to moan. It's a track full of shadows and hollows, of suggestive, almost-there sounds. "Malaga" looks towards sunny southern Spain for its title, and it delivers a similar vibe with springy chords and a bright, skittering high end full of sounds that chatter like palm fronds on a windy day. But there are storms sometimes on the horizon : between powerful low end and the hazy tones in the midrange, plus minor-key chords that flash out and are gone, there's a more ambiguous, introspective element at work. It's a wonderfully versatile track, perfect for dancefloor daydreaming and late-night awakenings.

Steve Bug and Pornbugs team up on Behind The Glass / On The Swing with remixes from Mihai Popoviciu and Markus Homm.

Unsung House hero, Steve Bug has been there and done it all. Arguably Germany's most important pioneer, his label Poker Flat has been an epoch-defining imprint. Celebrating 20
years of Bondage Pornbugs are mixing in different circles with recent releases for Selador and Acker Dub, showcasing their crossover appeal with a new generation of DJs.

Opening with 'On The Swing' we are delighted by classic deep vibes with a modern twist. Grooevsome and warm, this will get the floor going anywhere in the world. On remix duties,
Mihai Popoviciu drops his trademark style, smoothing out the bumps for a deeper ride.

Next up, 'Behind The Glass' takes a similar path. Soulful warmth exudes from the speakers as the bumpy bass and echoing keys mark time. Reaching a crescendo with muted acid
undertones in the second half keeps attention high and the dancefloor full and happy. For his remix, Markus Homm takes it deeper with shades of Detroit. Liquid cool for the later floors.

A1 Azul
A2 Tristesse
B1 Forces (Vinyl Only)
B2 Nipon (Vinyl Only)

LIMITED 2022 REPRESS

Mihai Popoviciu returns to Bondage Music with his Azul EP.

Kicking things off with the title track “Azul“, we start moody and deep, with a hypnotic
‘heads-down’ late night vibe from the off. A constant pad adds to the depth while tinkly tones hint at burst of warmth.
“Tristesse“ is a wondrous deep and warm slab of goodness. Deep yet oozing of sunshine with its bouncy vibe throughout.
“Forces“ is a sophisticated groover, with its swagger from the off setting the tone, interspersed with cool little blips and fx adding texture and bringing this timeless cut to the forefront.
“Nipon“ is one of those tracks that sets the tone. A skippy and energetic feel, yet with a restrained soundscape gentle caressing its workout. Bubbling and flavourful, and we like it!"
